Early in November, we received a heavy amount of wind and rain. Blowing rain, consequently, can get into your home in many ways. Water can seep into holes or loose shingles. This can lead to flooding in your home or water damage to your ceiling and walls, which can result in big expenses and the inconvenience of home repairs. This is why it is vital to inspect your roof and attic after weather disturbances like strong winds and heavy rain.

Walk around outside and keep an eye out for loose, curling, or missing shingles. Look for signs of granules. Granulated shingles mean they are past their life span or have been damaged and need replacement. Check the flashing around roof pipes, chimneys, and vents to ensure they are not corroded or bent out of shape.

Do not forget to do a quick inspection on you gutters and downspouts. Make sure that there is no rust or other signs of damaged gutters, such as holes or cracks. Also, check if the gutters and downspouts are fastened securely to your roof. If there are bent, broken, missing, or sagging fasteners and hangers, ensure that they’re fixed immediately before the gutters fall off.
